Lyrics

Episode version

Jockeys:

Freaks... freaks... freaks...

We are the jockeys,

Jockeys are we,

We live underground

In a fiberglass tree.

Tree jockey:

'Tween Earth and Hell, we reign supreme...

Toadstool jockey:

On toadstool thrones by a chocolate stream.

Male jockey 2:

But all is not well in Jockey Town.

Female jockey:

Your renegade horse is making us frown.

Homer:

Whadaya want me to do?

Male jockey 1:

Your horse must lose.

Homer:

My horse must lose?

Male jockey 1:

No win!

Bill:

No show!

Tree jockey:

No place!

Toadstool jockey:

Just lose the stinkin' race.

Homer:

And what if I refuse to lose?

Male jockey 1:

We'll eat your brain!

Homer:

My horse must lose!

Album version

Homer:

What happened?

[jockeys giggle]

What is this place?

Jockey #1:

Welcome to the secret land of the jockey.

[jockeys giggle]

Homer:

Why are you talking like that?

Jockey #1:

These are our real voices. [normal voice] We only talk like this on your surface world.

Homer:

But you're respected athletes. You own car dealerships and marry beauty queens.

Jockey #1:

All a lie. What woman would marry us? We're freaks.

All jockeys:

Freaks... freaks... freaks...

We are the jockeys,

Jockeys are we,

We live underground

In a fiberglass tree.

Tree jockey:

'Tween Earth and Hell, we reign supreme...

Toadstool jockey:

On toadstool thrones by a chocolate stream.

Male jockey 2:

But all is not well in Jockey Town.

Female jockey:

Your renegade horse is making us frown.

Homer:

Whadaya want me to do?

Male jockey 1:

Your horse must lose.

Homer:

My horse must lose?

Male jockey 1:

No win!

Male jockey 2:

No show!

Tree jockey:

No place!

Toadstool jockey:

Just lose the stinkin' race.

Homer:

And what if I refuse to lose?

Male jockey 1:

We'll eat your brain!

Homer:

My horse must lose!

Did that really happen, or was that just a wonderful dream?

Male jockey 1:

No dream! Lose the race, fat boy.
